All
• Try out and compare mathematical representations
• Generate terms of a linear sequence using term-to-term and position-to-term definitions of the sequence, on paper and using a spreadsheet or graphical calculator
• Use linear expressions to describe the nth term of a simple arithmetic sequence, justifying its form by referring to the activity or practical context from which it was generated

Most

• Represent problems and synthesise information in algebraic, geometrical or graphical form
• Recognise the impact of constraints or assumptions
• Generate terms of a sequence using term-to-term and position-to-term rules, on paper and using ICT
• Generate sequences from practical contexts and write and justify an expression to describe the nth term of an arithmetic sequence
Some
• Compare and evaluate representations
• Find the next term and the nth term of quadratic sequences and explore their properties; deduce properties of the sequences of triangular and square numbers from spatial patterns
